DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There is no plumbing to disconnect. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and a period basin that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
